This way you can't compile old and new driver as module.

Thanks again. It will take some time to double-check what I termed
the false positives, but now you've reduced the interesting cases
down to 30 symbols.

How about extending the language (side effect) to automagically
append (EXPERIMENTAL) or (OBSOLETE) to the menu line, if dependent
on those special tags?
I've thought about that too. Menuconfig already has magic code to
append ' (NEW)' if it hasn't seen a symbol before.

Well, the use in hysdn can (and should) die, possibly by adding an

Well, it'd be nice to first fix the dep_* statements so that they
don't break when that change is done (i.e. in this case, moving
IDESCSI behind CONFIG_SCSI.
Yes. That's my current plan.
Basically, extend the source command to do a grep CONFIG_* in the

Indeed not - if you hadn't already used that format I would have
